Look at the Pulse Audio web site and try running it as a system wide
daemon. I haven't done this yet, but believe it will serve the purpose.
I share this desire with you, btw, so if you try to reconfigure pulse
audio for daemon mode, please report on how that goes for you.

Do you have /etc/modprobe.conf? I expect you do not, as Fedora is moving
away from that. You may need to create this file. An example from one of
my systems follows. Also, what does aplay -l show? Are the device
drivers for your various devices loaded? Do you see them when you do
lsmod?

Here's a snip from my laptop's /etc/modprobe.conf. It guarantees my usb
headset will always be hw:1, and my Echo Indigo will always be hw:2, for
instance:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-usb-audio index=1
alias snd-card-2 snd-indigo
options snd-card-2 index=2
options snd-indigo index=2
